Warm Up: cleaning
Target Areas:
Chest:
Machine Used-Fly: I did 1@40 and 2@50. The 30 pound phase out seems to be successful. Guess it’s great I finally figured out what that knob was for.

Back:
Machine Used-Seated Row: I experimented by doing 2@70 and sticking with 1@55. I felt a bit of strain on the last rep of the 70, but otherwise, I did well.

Elliptical: This time, I did something slightly different just to see if I have the ability to do some of the set workouts.
The first one I tried was 2 minutes (with cool down-3 minutes) of the Random Setting at Level 1.
Then I tried the Heart Hill Test. Maximum Heart Rate was set at 147 and to do the exercise for 5 minutes (with cool down-7minutes). I got to 147 rather easy but found it difficult to bring down the heart rate, since I soon elevated to about 152.
Then, I tried the Fit Test, which terminated after 3 minutes because I was supposed to stay between 50-60mph but a few times I kept going over (that made me chuckle).
Following that, I attempted the Target Interval Zone, but it had a minimum setting of 10 minutes. I did the best I could, but found myself needing to stop after 2 minutes (no cool down initiated).
So although I only worked out a total of 12 minutes (with cool down-15 minutes) on the elliptical, I still met the cardio goal of 30 minutes and up, since I worked out 18.5 minutes (with cool down-21) on the bike.
Total Cardio (including cooldown): 36.5 minutes; 30.5without cooldown.
Treadmill: No Treadmill; I felt a little worn after the elliptical.
Although in hindsight, I probably should have given the Hydromassage bed a visit.
